| Publisher Description: The seventeen fragments of the Ezekiel's Exagoge (between mid-2nd and mid-1st century BCE) relate the story of the first fifteen chapters of the Exodus. They are the only evidence of a Jewish tragedy which has come down to us from Antiquity, as well as the most extensive specimen of a Greek tragedy of the Hellenistic period. For this reason the Exagoge is of unique historical, religious and literary value. This volume provides a translation and an in-depth commentary of the fragments of the Exagoge. The author deals with philological, dramaturgical and exegetical questions and sheds light on the relation between Ezekiel's drama and the Greek Bible, Hellenistic Jewish literature and Greek classical models. The introduction focuses on general subjects: the manifold Jewish attitudes towards theatre, the social and cultural context of the performance of the Exagoge, the dramatisation of the biblical text by Ezekiel, the complicated history of the transmission of the fragments. Les dix-sept fragments de l'Exagoge d'Ez chiel le Tragique (entre la moiti du IIe et la moiti du Ier si cle av.n. .) racontent l'histoire des quinze premiers chapitres de l'Exode. Ils sont non seulement le t moignage unique d'une trag die juive que l'Antiquit nous a transmise, mais aussi le sp cimen le plus tendu de trag die grecque de la p riode hell nistique. Sa valeur historique, religieuse et litt raire est donc unique. Ce volume offre une traduction et un commentaire approfondi des fragments de l'Exagoge. Les probl mes philologiques, dramaturgiques et ex g tiques y sont tudi s que les liens de cette pi ce avec d'une part le texte biblique et la litt rature du Juda sme hell nistique, d'autre part les mod les des trag dies classiques. Dans l'introduction des questions g n rales sont abord es: les diff rentes attitudes des Juifs l' gard du th tre, le contexte social et culturel dans lequel l'Exagoge a t repr sent e, la dramatisation du texte biblique op r e par Ez chiel, l'histoire complexe de la transmission des fragments. |
